Kishore Chauhan Explained

Kishore Chauhan (born 1949) is a man from Mumbai, India, who was arrested on March 22, 2009, for allegedly sexually abusing his daughters since they were 12 and 9 years old. Also charged were his wife Anjana Chauhan and an astrologer, Hansmukh Rathod.[1] The older victim, aged 21, told police "I want to kill my parents".[2]

It was alleged that Rathod had also abused other girls.[3] The investigating police had claimed that the Rathod was well connected with local politicians and had high-profile clients.[4]

All three accused were acquitted by Thane Sessions Court on Aug 4, 2011 after the prosecution failed to establish rape.[5]
